Opening song : Across the Water by Jory Nash from the album One Way Down.
In this video I visit the gravesite of the “mother of the modern day civil rights movement “ Rosa Parks, at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan. I also visit the Henry Ford Museum where the famous bus from Montgomery, Alabama is on display.
Rosa Parks, née Rosa Louise McCauley, (born February 4, 1913, Tuskegee, Alabama, U.S.-died October 24, 2005, Detroit, Michigan), African American civil rights activist whose refusal to relinquish her seat on a public bus to a white man precipitated the 1955-56 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, which is recognized as the spark that ignited the U.S. civil rights movement.
